Question

What Is Mayer's Formula?

Answer 1

1. Mayer 's formula gives the relationship between molar specific heat of a gas at constant volume and pressure
2. Mayer's equation can be written as
   $C_p-C_v=R$
   Where $C_p$is the molar-specific heat capacity of an ideal gas at constant pressure, $C_v$ is the molar-specific heat capacity at constant volume and the universal gas constant is $R$.
3. Specific heat of a solid or liquid is the amount of heat that raises the temperature of a unit mass of the solid through 1° C.
4. We symbolise it as C. In S.I unit, it is the amount of heat that raises the temperature of 1 kg of solid or liquid through 1K.
